Alex Walmsley. This seasons' Chris Hill, in my opinion, and I don't think I'm the only one.

With my Bulls hat on, I think Jobe Murphy has been relatively poor even considering he's a debutant and played around 3 times. But not everyone can start with a bang. I'd maybe even consider putting Alex Brown in the poll ahead of Murphy.

To my shame I couldn't pick him out of a line up, which makes me think they were perhaps struggling for enough genuinely exciting debutants to fill the poll with.

Alex Walmsley for me and even though that may appear biased, it actually isn't. This guy is only 18 months or so on from playing in the amateur game so his presence, and his consistency, at this level is astounding.

Fages has had a great debut in a side that has struggled and has been partnered with another youngster in Sneyd for part of the season.

It is easier to make an impact in a well drilled side, but this young 18 year old has been assaulted (at Catalan) and still came back for more. He has carried the team for long periods. A lot of pressure for such a kid.

Salford have a few that could have been mentioned. Niall Evalds played well on Saturday as well.

Well, there are some good uns there. The one I have seen most of is Burke, and he really has something about him - he has come into the team and been completely at ease from the word go. He'll go far. Impossible for me to compare him against others I have only had glimpses of, but if they are better then they must have some talent.

From the choice above, Escaré looks like an exciting runner (although relatively slight and small), Percival a composed and mature all-rounder and Walmsley a George Burgess-like "tearaway" as Greg "Brandy" Alexander would describe the latter.

Seriously though, we have lots of big forwards in SL, but we're a bit light on exciting backs who can step off either side and embarrass a fullback. Each time I've seen Escaré he's been class.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
